No I don't want to set any false expectations.
Scar tissue is complete newly formed skin.
It will never look as the old skin did.
There is no way to remove it either with surgery or chemistry.
The best you can hope for it is that its colour and texture becomes similar to the surrounding skin that it becomes unnoticeable to casual inspection.
There is also a large difference between your typical Hypertrophic scar and Keloid scaring resulting from excessive collagen. Keloids look unsightly and are painful - I recommend avoiding them if possible.
The popularised belief that scars are 'cool' is only true within a golden ratio of size, location and number - still awaiting my crown as forums coolest member if wrong.
